title: Note: Pneumatically actuated and kinematically positioned optical mounts compatible with laser-cooling experiments.
abstract: We present two complementary designs of pneumatically actuated and kinematically positioned optics mounts: one designed for vertical mounting and translation, the other designed for horizontal mounting and translation. The design and measured stability make these mounts well-suited to experiments with laser-cooled atoms.
